My limited personal experience with product marketing makes me feel that PM is basically copywriting + working closely with Sales when compared to other marketing roles. Would you say this is an accurate understanding of the job? If not, how would you describe it better? I want to try my hand at it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be good at it.

Agree with the above descriptions but there is also an element of influencing the roadmap based on customer and market feedback. Product marketers work with product closely to define product features and enhancements based on what we are hearing from clients, analysts, etc.

Product marketers own the go-to-market (GTM) strategy for new launches or features. This means coordinating with Product, Sales, Customer Success, and Marketing teams to ensure everyone is aligned on the value proposition and launch plan.

Yes, there’s a big copywriting component, but it’s about more than just writing. Product marketers are responsible for crafting the core positioning and messaging for a product, figuring out what makes it unique, who it’s for, and how to communicate its value in a way that resonates with the target audience.

B2C is a bit of a different ballgame though. It’s more about working with the product team and other marketing disciplines. It can feel more strategic and less hands-on, especially at larger companies.
